ORONO WEEKLV TIMES, THURSDAY, AU(ÛUST lst, 196s ORONO WEEKLY TIMES Aut erized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Departunent, Ottawa. Established la 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester -Editor and Manager No Opposition Here Liuring the iast f ew days of the 26t1h Parliament at Otawa the house voted a sum of $18,000 for members of Parliament. The increase was substantial yet from al reports warranted as the cost of serving .the country as a mnember les sated to amnount ta more than the former re- muneration of $8,000. Of course, now that the sum le adequate, tliere wlll be a demand from the public for a more conscienciaus service by thec members. It has often been noted in reports fluat many members are absent f rom the house or anly attend for a few àittinge a week. This was borne out la-the recent vote which was hield la the bouse ta adopit the budget. Well over one hundred members had taken leave ta return home. Surely the budget was of importance andi a member at home, in hie conqtituency can lend nothing ta legisiatian being presenieti te the bouse. . Lot us pay the memfbers an adequate sum. But ln re- turn Jet us demand the service 'requiredti t admister the affairs of the country and wlth less effort being appleti ta promodte paity popularity. Too muclu time has been spent ln the ltter and la this respect ail parties are involved. The main duty of the member when he sîts ia the hguse af Caîm- monts ls ta the service of hie country not lis party. Reversai Dr. M. B. Dymonti, Ontarioa Bealth Minister, outlined the government policy in a heaith insurance plan, commonly Inown as Medicare, at a recent meeting in Cobourg. Dr. Dymoant emphasized that he was oppased toaa government monopoly and questioned tihe abllity of a gov- ermneiut ta operate its awn plan as successfuliy and as ec onomically as other plans are now being rua. "The best con- tral of caste is wide open competition," he insisteti. The set up for thue propaseti Metilcare le ta lbe left la thebn.nde of the individual organIzations who now operate nuedical, coverage. A persan will be free ta buy their caver- age fflom any agenty andi al persons are eligible. Tlue caver age of the indlvïdual agency whe'tler it be Co-op, P.S.I. or atluers may be abtaîneti by those Whlo cannait afford it flrouglu tihe exietance of a -gavernment subsidy. ltit le uite possible thait the gavernment may endi up providing goverament pro- vided coverage, for some 750,000 ta 125,000 persons la the Province under tlue proposeti eciueme. One cannait doubit the neeti of adequate coveu-age for tiiose wluo cannat afford it. Interesting lowever le the reversa.inla policy betweert Medicare and thue Ontario Hospitalisation sabeme. Dr. Dy- inonti now ativocates f ree choice of coverage, free enterprise ta keep down coste and isl opposeti tu gavernment monopaly for Medicare. The Ontarilo Hospitalisation soheme le tihe ex- act reverse. Wheuu it came into existence fluose agencies Who weee providing hospitalization weu-e eliminaiteti anti only thle governunenlt scihemne coulti- operate ta, pravide the coverage. An applicant can only turn to the Ontario plan for huaspi4lal dare coverage.

Prior to this the rates were nat ex- orbitant or autside the reacu of flue average persan.

OTHFIR EDITORS' OPINIO-NS Dictatorial Legisiation Thi s village is beiag forced to pay $200 for lJasi year's membership in the Ganaraska Conservation Authority, a m,embersbip the local couacil had farced upon them againet their vwill by the Provincial Government la the Conservation -Authorities' Act. The authority took court action ta collecit the fee when council clamned it had iegally been incorporated as a part cf the autbority and refused t0 authorize payment of the levy. The court ardered paymeat of the levy. The village couucîl hati no wisb or deÉire ta become a part of the autharity because the members cannot cee- any -value ta the,,village taxpayer la the authorlty. A represent- ative cf the Department o! Planning, and Developmeat t, teuuded a counicil meeting a couple of years ago andi told counili consideratian of enlarging the area was untier con- sideration and gave the mnembers literature expiainlng the and iswrkg for the advaxcement of the village ne a whole. Can't Yeu just imagine wha.t would haiypen to the Council if they granted the Chamber authority ta notify every aduit in the village hey were going ta extend the mem- bership of the Chamnber and invite them ta be Dresent ta vote on the extension? Then a vote would be taken and, if. passed bv those present, everyone in the village could be as- sessed and forced ta pay the membership levy? This le ex- actlyv what the provincial governmenit has done in passing the Conservation Authorities Act. ,The council has made requests thraugh aur local MPP ta have the village removed from the authority, but no at- tempt has been made by. the minIster ta have the council'z request implemenfed. Sa. in additionto th $200 1962 assess- ment, the village taxpayers are also sad'dled with the $548 assessment for 1963 ta pay for work being done on the Gan- araàka River and As tributaries. Flow can the local council be expected to hold the local tax rate down? -The Newcastle Independent Wheat Policy The federal governiment's wheat policy, whatever good points it may have, bears no resemblance to the wheat pollcy which the Liberal paxty advocated in the last two elections, charges the Montreal Star, a newspaper with definite pro. Liberal leanings. The matter le 0of more than regional con- ceria, it argues, because the wheat industry ie one of Canada'e biggest export interests and the cost of dealing with it - if costs are involved - s borne by evel'y part of Canada. The important question is why the policy has been changed. The Star reasons this way: There are clinics who dismiss the whole business by saying that the Ltberal platform was designed to catch votes, and that this was the reason for the more generous provisions is contained. The next stage is to dismiss the failure ta ýadopt it on the ground that, sincee-the farmers did net take the bait they are ta be punished by thue Lberal government. The Star doesnlot think that this cynical notion can be discarded out of hand. There have been provinces in Canada where highwayconstruction has proceeded only after the closeet scrutiny of election resuits, poil by poli. But nobody would like to elevate this kind of performanýce ta the level -of p rinciple. Certainly no ehadaw of it should be cast by the federal government. Trade Minister Sharp bas told the House of Comnions that his ýpresent proposais carried the assent of the western wheat pools. ýSays the Star: "We don't doubt this is so, and' the approval of the pools is important. But where is the an- naunced policy. If the wheat polïcy once advoca.ted was noth- ing but a handout, it should neveur have been proposed In the first place. But we shauld be todjd, instea.d of watching it swept quietly under the rug.'l 1But we do net think the Star te naive enougb really ta expect ta be told.

Tobacco Iteariogr Two suits against the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board began in Ontario Supreme Court last week ln at - tempt ta nulify 1963-64 tobacca pro- duction and marketing regulations. The board decides which farmers are ta grow tobacco eacih year and sets acreage quotas for each. This year, followIng 1962 overproduction the board is attemu¶ting ta reduce crop acreage by 40 per cent. It ruled that na acreage quotas be given farmers not edtablislued as licensed producere prior ta May 6.
